Queen Iggy <3 Happy for her success.

Every music genre started by blacks, has been copied and stolen by whites!! Even twerking is considered a white thing. Even though blacks and Hispanics have big butts by way of genetics, that too has become a thing of WHITE beauty. Oh! And cornrows are only beautiful if worn by a white woman. Go figure.

Truth!

I cannot speak from back in the day, but this day in age, BLACK FOLKS ARE GIVING WHITE FOLKS THE POWER.

This article basically sums up my opinion. Her music is top 40 friendly. She’s far far from running hip hop. I don’t hear her music on urban radio. Sorry.

Come on HHW.. what do you expect from a Forbes article about Hip Hop?

So I guess this Forbes guy is on Iggy’s payroll? I’ve heard her voice on the radio only once and I wouldn’t even be able to guess what that song was. Some stardom….

So any Hip Hop head knows wat it is…….It aint about color we know dat…Cuz Em was killin da Hip Hop scene for a min….But to call her the Queen of Hip Hop over one Pop hit is ridiculous. …..she finally got one of her joints playin on da radio but now dat makes her da best of the best….Fuk outta here….she sold 55k on her 1st week…..dats nuthin to 325k for Nicki….there’s no COMPARISON……so wat da FUK is dey talkin about…..dey listed FACTS….numbers don’t lie….so wat does dat tell ya…she still needs 2 get her fan base tight….cuz she only got a few in da crowd….to be truly honest Forbes don’t even know wat real Hip Hop is…like Kevin Hart said….don’t believe da hype…..cuz she’s gettin hyped by people who got da upper hand…….Us Hip Hop heads though…know wat it is……..#ShesLyricallyGarbage BUT Nice 2 look at…..she aint fukin wit Nicki Lyrically……..Cum out wit sum more hits cuz Nicki stay wearin da crown in my opinion…….

Let’s take it back to the origins.. PUBLIC ENEMY told us not to believe the hype..but I’m with u on your comment. Iggy is trash, but the complexion is her ticket. I even attempted to look up a performance, just for clarity before judgement..Still trash.

yeahok

She proved that if you get butt injections and make your voice sound funny you can become a pop-rapper

R!-Goddamn-Diculous

No, Nicki proved that lol…

Where’s Forbes PR?

I don’t ever use the word racism lightly but I don’t know how else to explain the success of this person who is called a “rapper” but is an absolutely awful lyricist who embarrassingly hides her real accent in favor of an Urban Southern accent and has what appears to be injections (you know where) to mimic the natural physicality of black women. She’s a parody act, a blatant attempt to whitewash and pop-ify rap music. The fact that most black rappers today are coons themselves certainly doesn’t help the matter.
